Copy the link and paste it into your browser.  Then click on Balls.xls.

Tony will probably also have it up at http://www.allBowling.com/downloads/Balls.xls before too long.

Apex Adrenaline got a hook rating of 20? Are you kidding?

BTM changed some of their rating scales at some point during 2002.

Yes, it's very useful. Good job. Only I seem to remember that the Adrenaline got a 52 hook rating.

I can't check the numbers for the Apex Adrenaline because it was reviewed in 1/2002 and I can't find my 2002 Ball Review Guide plus I did not start subscribing to BTM until 1/2003.  However, I did double check the numbers for all the other balls.  I also separated the balls into two sheets: one has balls reviewed in 2002 when BTM was using different rating scales and the other has balls with the current scales.  Unfortunately, I can't specify the scales because, again, I can't find the 2002 Guide.  I am sure that the length scale changed as of 5/2002 and it looks like the hook scale changed as of 2/2002.

At any rate, I hope these changes make the information less confusing and more useful.

i'd also like to add that the origional inferno was a pearl ball, not a solid as indicated at least that's what i was led to believe. If i'm wrong, please correct me

I just go from what is in the magazine and the review lists it as "Reactive".  Typically, it will specify "Pearl Reactive" when applicable.
